Iskall the Matchmaker
Thanks to @BridgetTh3B1RD for the awesome dare.
This is going to be fun...
Iskall POV
I hadn't seen Grian and Mumbo much ever since they got back from that other world. To be fair, I'd honestly ignored most of what they'd said.
Still. I decided to go to Grian's base and check on him.
I flew through the sky, past Mumbo's base. I didn't see my moustached friend around. Weird.
I landed on the ring that surrounded Grian's flowerpot, and peeked inside.
Grian and Mumbo were there, talking and laughing. Okay, normal enough. I thought.
Then Grian shuffled closer to Mumbo and snuggled up against him.
Weird. I thought. But whatever. I was about to glide down, but I stopped.
Mumbo looked down at Grian and kissed the top of his head.
I couldn't stop the grin from stretching across my face. This is why they had been so distant. And they'd done a good job hiding it too. If I hadn't come by at this time...
I stepped closer to the edge to get a better view, but I dislodged a pebble. The small stone skittered off the edge and fell to the ground.
The pairs heads shot up. "Who's there?" Grian called. I flew down.
"Hey lovebirds." I snickered. The pair went red.
"What are you doing?" Mumbo asked.
I shrugged. "Well, I haven't seen you guys since you came back from Phyco Meat Land, so I came in to check on you." I smirked at the looks on their faces. "And a good thing I did too."
"Please don't tell." Grian sighed.
An idea started forming in my mind. "Okay, I won't." The pair let out a sigh of relief.
"But." I cut them off. "Doesn't mean I won't annoy you about it."
No POV
Grian ran around the shopping district. He wanted to get back to work on Sahara. Just one more stop.
He rounded a corner and almost crashed into a person.
"Woah, easy there." The voice was familiar.
Grian stared at the person. "Wither?"
The Halfhel grinned. "What's up?"
Grian relaxed. "Not much." He told his friend. "Just working on a project with Mumbo."
A shadow passed overhead. "Is that all you've been doing with him recently?" Iskall called from above. Grian glared at the Swede.
"Yes. Now shut up!"
Iskall shrugged. "Okay, I was just asking." He flew away.
Mumbo pulled out the last piece of concrete from the chest. The last piece of concrete in his storage system. I'll need to get some more. He thought.
Grabbing a rocket, he flew off towards the shopping district to pick up a bit more. He landed close to Cherry.
"Hey Mumbo." Scar stepped out of the shop, Jellie perched on his shoulder.
Mumbo relaxed. "Hey Scar. What'cha doing?"
The Hermit shrugged, causing Jellie to mew from her place on Scar's shoulder. He gently placed the cat on the ground.
"Not much. You?" He asked.
Mumbo was about to respond when a rocket above inturrupted him.
"He's been doing something with Grian." Iskall put in from his place on the roof.
I tried not to let red flood into my cheeks. "Actually, I have. We've been working on Sahara."
Iskall raised an eyebrow. "Is that all?" He asked.
I glared at him. "Yes."
Before I could slap him, Iskall jumped off the roof and flew away.
"Do I want to know what that was all about?" Scar asked.
I sighed. "No."
Doc and Ren sat outside the stock exchange, going through paperwork. Most of it was junk mail from Concorp, so Doc was finding those files, and Ren was burning them.
Ren sighed as a flyer went up in flames. "Do you think Wither's doing alright?" He asked.
Doc shrugged. "I'd assume so."
"What about Grian and Mumbo? I haven't heard from them in a while." Ren continued. It was true. The pair hadn't talked with the other Hermits much in a while.
Iskall swooped down in front of them, and landed grinning. "I can answer that."
"No you can't!" A lead wrapped around Iskall, and dragged him back. For a small guy, Grian could be strong when he wanted to be.
Iskall flashed a cocky grin at Grian. "Not gonna tell them what you've been doing recently?"
Grian scowled. "No. Let's go." He walked away, dragging Iskall behind him.
Doc and Ren exchanged a glance. "What was that about?" Doc asked.
Ren though for a moment. "Do you think..."
The two locked gazes. "Nah."
All the Hermits were getting together for a party. Mumbo and Grian had seriously considered tying up Iskall and leaving him in the bottom of Grian's base, in case he spilled the secret.
But in the end, they decided not to.
The party was awesome. Everybody was talking and laughing, and Concorp had even brought a cake.
Things were fine until somebody started a game of Truth or Dare.
Most dares were simple. Steal Jellie from Scar, stuff marshmallows in your mouth, things like that.
Then Iskall went up. It was his turn to chose a dare.
"I dare everyone playing, to kiss who they like."
The words sentence small panic into Grian and Mumbo.
A few people moved. Joe and Jevin both ran up to Cleo, and tried to kiss her at the same time. Stress quickly pecked Iskall on the cheek. Impulse and Zed ran up to Tango.
Grian and Mumbo didn't move.
"Oh come on, nobody else?" Iskall asked. His eyes locked onto Grian's.
Mumbo hesitantly looked at Grian.
"Are we still going to hide?" Mumbo asked under his breath.
Grian faced Mumbo. "Honestly, I don't care at this point."
The two kissed, all the other Hermits gasping and cheering behind them. Except two.
Iskall, who was grinning.
And Wither, who had seen their first kiss back in the Apocalypse.
Thanks again for the oneshot. Keep sending in ideas for one shots, questions, and dares.
See ya!
